Most sites sit directly on or very close to the water at this compact state recreation area campground. The boat ramp provides immediate water access, while the shoreline offers fishing opportunities along the lake and river system. Clean restrooms include showers with private doors, and a playground and beach area serve families.
Cell service remains limited throughout the campground for both Verizon and AT&T users, though signal improves at Platte Creek Store up the hill. The facility accommodates RVs up to 60 feet with electric hookups and provides a dump station. For additional options, campers can explore camping areas around Platte or visit Snake Creek Recreation Area to the northwest.
